Yeah - logically she's Court's successor.
Here's an idea for a new Starman - what about giving Mike Dugan the same powers as his adopted sister? If she's aged up to her 20s like she really should be (they don't even need to physically change her appearance - the ending of Lost Children would've physically reverted her to 16) then Mike would also be older - he'd now be old enough to become a superhero himself.

Isn't Mikel being used in Danger Street, right now?
But sure, I'm all for a new Starman series. But good bloody luck coming close to the quality of Robinson's series. That series was so freaking good that no one has even tried to emulate it... unfortunately.

I'd love a kitschy, pulp sci-fi book starring Ted Knight sort of in the vein of Sandman Mystery Theatre.

I think you can introduce a new Starman and not have to make it part of the legacy. I realize so many fans are obsessed with legacy and tying it all together somehow, but I'd argue that can also be limiting. So I say create a brand new Starman, one who doesn't invalidate Courtney's current claim to the Ted Knight/Jack Knight mantle. You could even have her show up to investigate and acknowledge this is someone doing their own thing, not trying to build on the Knight name.
At the same time, I'd be down for a 1950s-set Ted Knight sci-fi series, especially if it embraces the vibe of sci-fi films of the time (through a modern storytelling lens, of course).
I don’t get why they would age her and keep her looking like a teenager. It would be kind of creepy if she had the mind of a young adult and the body of a minor. Would be a mess for romantic storylines.
Plus it’s not like her being in her early twenties would be such a big visual departure anyway.
